Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0000909A1] Generation of output or reports contained in a data source which may be any of two or more types of source data, in a standardized or uniform manner is provided. A plurality of drivers (804) are provided specific to different types of source data which include programming for identifying structural or other characteristics of the various data sources, e.g. for use in defining a new database. Preferably the new database is configured to permit highly flexible and/or rapid output or reporting or is otherwise optimized for reporting purposes. In one embodiment, the present invention includes conversion of one or more data sources into one or more uniform databases (812), preferably generating one or more key categories for organizing the data, optionally generating category groupings or rollups and additional data or optional references.
